One gram-mole of methyl chloride vapor is contained in a vessel at 100°C and 10atm.(a) Use the ideal-gas equation of state to estimate the system volume.(b) 2.8liters. ideal-gas behavior?

a) The volume of the system is 3.062 Liters.

b) Percentage error results from assuming ideal-gas behavior is 9.36%.

Explanation:

a)

Using ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas =

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 1 mol

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = 100°C = 100+273K=373 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

V = 3.062 L

The volume of the system is 3.062 Liters.

b)

Volume of the container = V' = 2.8 L

System volume = V = 3.062 L

Percentage error of volume:

To calculate the percentage error, we use the equation:

Percentage error results from assuming ideal-gas behavior is 9.36%.
